HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE USSP-ASIA / NSP SYSTEM
There's really no such thing as a “typical ski patroller.” Nevertheless, when you hear the words "Ski Patroller," you probably think of someone who skis or boards great while performing mountainside rescues of injured skiers & boarders.
The truth of the matter is, it takes all kinds of people to make up this team. Emergency care is an important part of the mission of the US Ski Patrol - Asia (USSP- A ) however, it's just one way that our volunteer patrollers help the public.
We also educate, communicate, and participate!
USSP-A members are people with a strong desire to help others and they have the volunteer spirit it takes to want to make a difference. People who want to learn - and use - emergency medical care skills, improve their skiing or snowboarding, and help make mountain recreation safer for everyone in the community.
If this sounds like you, please read on and find out how you too, can join this exclusive volunteer team and experience the following personal growth benefits…
